Article 5

In cases where goods have been damaged before entry into free circulation and, therefore, the price actually paid or payable is apportioned for the determination of the customs value pursuant to Article 131(2) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 ( 1 ), the amount of countervailing duty laid down in Articles 1, 2 and 3 shall be reduced by a percentage which corresponds to the apportioning of the price actually paid or payable.
